so.. if Rhaegar didnt 'kidnap' Lyanna, and she wanted to be with him, does that make Robert Baratheon, Ned Stark, and Jon Arryn the bad guys of our little story?

Its always been my understanding that Lyanna was in love with Rhaegar and that it was very much a mutual thing. They both just wanted to run away together but neither the Stark nor Targaryan families were OK with this and Ned got to them before the Targarians could or they would have probably killed Lyanna…Its been awhile since I read any of the books, but I have it very vividly in my mind that it is heavily hinted that the two were running away together because they were in love.
The kidnapping was a complete ruse because Lyanna was married? or Rhaegar was married? I don't remember exactly besides the fact that it was an obvious cover story to try to make Lyanna not look like a whore...and very transparent given the context of the books.
